Default In a bind, getting add-a-leafs, need advice.

Alright, I got 3 1/2" blocks in the back of my 2003 dodge ram 1500. I want to convert them to add-a-leafs because of my ride.

I was thinking of getting a add-a-leaf pack to put on, so then i get 1.5"-2".
And then I was going to get a 1.5"-2" block.
Can I just get all add-a-leaf that will help my ride but not make it so stiff?
If so what do I need to get.
Or should I just go with what I said above?

Thanks for your input .

the more add-a-leaf you do, the stiffer the ride will get. I'd strongly consider air bags. you can adjust pressure in them to soften/stiffen the ride to your liking. do a search for air bags...its a very popular mod especially when towing to prevent sagging

The add a leafs are going to stiffen up your ride. I had a set ony last ram and they made the rear so stiff I bounced over even the smallest bumps.

Yea I really thought about airbags for the rear, but I don't know if they will compensate for what I'm looking for, I think I'm going to add a set of add-a-leaf to my rear and put a 1.5" block or 2"block on. Went to 4wheelparts and they said that is probably my best bet.
